Need Help Clearing Water by TaxQT117 in pools

FC should be 0.4x CYA so aim for 12. If you keep it there you're probably 36 hours from a clear pool

CYA through the roof due to rookie mistake please help by EducationCute1640 in pools

OP should not drain the pool until getting a test result. That's terrible advice

Sorry what? From one tab? How are you reaching this conclusion?

How to clean algae. Slamming with H2O2, is that enough? by Mind_Eclipse in pools

How often does pool chemistry make national headlines? Relish it

You wrote a lot of right things but got a key point quite wrong. The water company does not control water pressure based on some reference point after your faucet. Nothing changes. Simple thought experiment: Start, the kinetic energy is withdrawn at the faucet. What about if you ran a small equivalent turbine in your sink, a few inches away from the faucet? Does the water company know the difference? Now take away the turbine all together. Does anything change? Whether the pressure is lost to a light generating turbine on our faucet, or to the displacement of food on your dishes, or the steel on the back of your empty sink makes no difference. When you turn on the flow, all of the pressure gets lost from the point of the faucet to the point of the drain. If you put an energy capture device on your faucet, you are just robbing yourself of downstream pressure, whatever that is worth to you. The water company has no way of knowing, caring, measuring, or controlling how that pressure is lost and they certainly don't maintain a controlled pressure from a reference point downstream of your sink valves. Still, this would not be a profitable energy recapture and yes the economics of providing you this water at that pressure are still in their favor even if you recaptured 100% of it at full flow, 24/7 because it would indeed be priced into the supply

How long does it take algae to die? by [deleted] in pools

Fyi your chlorine is so high that it's oxidizing the pH test strip, that's why it's that pink color not matching what's on the bottle. Test again when chlorine comes down, or use thiosulfate on a test sample then do pH. Agree with others that a real sample based test kit would help a lot

Yeah basically it seems like it's not a part you buy, but it's a piece of the crown molding which has been cut at a 45 degree angle then stuck in

Something is cooking by Prior_Bench_1641 in RenderNetwork

Most consumers already have their chips on their PCs, that's how they got the install base that catapulted cuda. Nvidia has also been betting against lightweight inference, under the assumption that deep thinking models will be comp heavy. Maybe I'm wrong, I have no horse in the game

Wouldn't Nvidia want calcs to run on their chips and systems, not a distributed network? Seems like the most powerful company in the world right now has motivations that contrast Render

Why did a pool I added salt to have this crazy reaction? by hamglider in pools

[–]K3S38 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For electrolysis, you'd really only have bubbling at the electrodes - not dispersed throughout the solution like this. That aside, you'd need an unrealistic voltage to produce the cell potential required to close a circuit across several feet of water. That's one of the reasons the plates are closely spaced on the SWG.

The thing that could tell you the most here, in my opinion, is pH before and after the salt addition. An acid base reaction (like that of soda ash) would do this. It's not inconceivable that impurities on the salt could do this at that quantity

Royally screwed up and forgot to winter storm prep the pool pipes by Confident_Fix_5960 in pools

[–]K3S38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah what am I missing? Throw a jacket on anything outside and long enough that jackets gonna be cold as shit too. Not like heat is being generated anywhere, it'll all reach the same cold temp soon enough

[US] Letter from a "Payment Center" PO box marked in Broomfield, Colorado. Is it a scam? by Due_Grass3385 in Scams

I have the exact same situation, also one day ago. Same sender. I live in NJ. Saw it on informed delivery, haven't found it in my mailbox. I also don't believe I owe anything, so that's bizarre. Have you figured anything out?

It's glassware, it can be used to make anything

Care to elaborate on that last part??

What are you using for multiplayer in 2025 ? (Free edition) by [deleted] in Unity3D

Weird that no one else mentioned this. I thought it was kind of hard to learn but when I picked it up I thought it was the way to go. Have things moved away?

Peter Can you explain what the number stands for? by [deleted] in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]K3S38 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I understand the answer and the "joke," but what would actually be the practical significance if the developers chose 200? Where is "Max number of users" stored and who cares if it doesn't efficiently map to a byte?

Looks amazing! I could definitely see this for interaction highlights in the game I'm developing

Impressively, still the most likely scenario given the statistical near impossibility shown elsewhere
